The Politics of Health Legislation: An Economic Perspective, Revised 2nd Revision Edition

In this book leading health economist Paul Feldstein uses economics to explain legislative outcomes in the healthcare field.

This revised edition examines the latest legislative changes affecting both Medicare and health reform such as the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare, as well as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. These laws and additional legislative proposals provide new material to test the validity of alternative legislative theories.
